🗞 Bitcoin Drops Below $8K Amid Crypto Market Sell-Off

At press time, the price of bitcoin is roughly $7,811.22 across global exchanges, a figure that represents a decline of over $300 from the day's open, and the lowest price observed on the index since Feb. 11, when the BPI hit a low of $7,845.13.

🗞 Coinbase Granted E-Money License by UK’s Financial Conduct Authority

Coinbase appears poised to increase its global market share for licensed cryptocurrency exchanges. It recently hired a mergers and acquisitions veteran who handled more than 40 deals for Linkedin, signaling its intent to start gobbling up competitors in the industry. Now it’s also established a new legal beachhead in the UK from which it can further penetrate the European bitcoin market.

🗞 💰Update on the Collaborative SteemFund - 5th Week💰

How will it work ?

I started by making a quite diversified Crypto Investment Fund with cryptos I like and think have great underlying projects.

Every week, depending on the comments I receive on this post or on my Twitter account, I will make a survey asking if we should integrate a new "Crypto".

The one receiving the most votes will then be integrated in the Portfolio.

We will track the Portfolio Performance on a Weekly Basis.

Portfolio as of March, 14th

Performance of #SteemFund

Our Portfolio Value is currently standing at $6754 (-32,46% over this period).

It has been a very tough ride so far…

🗞 Financial Professionals Bet On Rising Cryptos, UK Report

New survey among financial professionals in Britain shows that more than half of those who have invested in cryptocurrencies, plan to buy more coins this year. Despite recent market volatility, only 8 percent of the interviewed intend to sell their cryptos. The majority of the investors expect crypto valuations to rise over the next 12 months.

🗞 Google To Ban All Crypto-Related Ads Starting June 2018

Scott Spencer, the Director of Sustainable Ads at Google, told CNBC today, March 14:

"We don't have a crystal ball to know where the future is going to go with cryptocurrencies, but we've seen enough consumer harm or potential for consumer harm that it's an area that we want to approach with extreme caution.”

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion

Here is the chart of yesterday :

Here is the current chart :

As you can see, we broke the major support line in yellow but we already did it the last days and came each time upper.

We are now sitting on another little support line created from the drops experienced during the last days. If we break this last little short term support, expect a quick and important drop in direction of the 1$ level... Let's hope we won't have to experience that but this is a possibility.
